Fritz Winter | Automotive | 3500 | $1.1B | Germany | SAP | SAP ERP ECC 6.0 | ERP Financial | 2011 |
In 2011 Fritz Winter implemented SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as its core ERP Financial application to consolidate transactional finance and support manufacturing accounting across its automotive operations. The project was delivered in partnership with c.a.r.u.s. HMS GmbH and built on a private cloud architecture provided by IBM Systems and Technology, positioning SAP ERP ECC 6.0 as the primary system of record for financial processes and reporting.
The implementation combined SAP ERP ECC 6.0 with SAP for Automotive and SAP Business Warehouse to enable end to end financial management, financial reporting, general ledger processing, accounts payable and accounts receivable workflows, and analytics. The technical configuration included virtualization on VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus Edition, IBM System x3650 M4 compute nodes, IBM Storwize V7000 and V3700 storage, IBM System Storage TS7620 tape, ProtecTIER deduplication, IBM DB2 database services and IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller and Tivoli storage management, delivering automated failover and continuous availability for financial operations.
Integrations were explicitly scoped between SAP ERP ECC 6.0 and SAP Business Warehouse for analytics, with DB2 serving as the database platform and IBM storage and backup services providing persistent infrastructure and recovery capabilities. The deployment targeted enterprise operational coverage across Fritz Winter production facilities in Stadtallendorf and its manufacturing footprint, and the private cloud design was instrumented to support rapid provisioning, reducing server build time from days to under one hour through automated templates and VMware failover orchestration.
Governance and operational outcomes were formalized under a centralized infrastructure support model with IBM Global Technology Services involvement and c.a.r.u.s. HMS GmbH as business partner for implementation and support. Reported outcomes included a return on investment within 2.5 years, analysis performance improvement that reduced a 90 minute report runtime to five minutes, and a 50 percent reduction in database size due to advanced compression, reinforcing the continuity and availability objectives of the ERP Financial deployment.

Fritz Winter | Automotive | 3500 | $1.1B | Germany | SAP | SAP BW (Business Warehouse) | Data Warehouse | 2011 |
In 2011, Fritz Winter implemented SAP BW (Business Warehouse) as a Data Warehouse solution to centralize reporting and analytics for its automotive manufacturing operations. The project was executed in collaboration with system integrator c.a.r.u.s. HMS GmbH and supported by IBM Global Technology Services.
The deployment used a private cloud architecture running on IBM hardware including System x3650 M4 servers, Storwize V7000 and V3700 arrays, ProtecTIER deduplication, TS7620 tape storage, IBM DB2, SAN Volume Controller and Tivoli Storage Manager, with VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus providing virtualization. SAP BW (Business Warehouse) was configured to consolidate data from SAP ERP and SAP for Automotive for reporting and analytics, with data modelling and advanced compression optimized on DB2 and storage virtualization.
Operational coverage spanned Fritz Winter's enterprise including its three production plants in Stadtallendorf, with the SAP BW Data Warehouse supporting manufacturing, supply chain and finance reporting workflows. The environment included fully automated VMware failover for continuous availability, and IBM plus c.a.r.u.s. provided integrated server and storage support to enable rapid problem resolution and sustain operations.
Explicit outcomes documented in the implementation include a return on investment within 2.5 years on systems planned to be retained for five years, analysis performance improving by more than 95 percent with report runtime falling from 90 minutes to five minutes, and a 50 percent reduction in database size through advanced compression. The architecture also accelerated server provisioning from days to less than one hour while delivering the continuous availability required to mitigate IT downtime risk in a competitive automotive sector.
